Our challenge in this 7,680 sq. ft. home was to create authentic Moroccan interior details.

We began in the foyer where three niches were created using pierced wood shaped into Moorish arches. Antiqued terra-cotta tiles set the theme installed in a sea of limestone. Embossed leather hand carved chairs flanked one archway as an antique desk separates the other two. The pierced grill work is also suspended from the ceiling and subtly lit.

A custom limestone mantle is the focal point of the living room flanked by two mahogany chests with ivory inlay. The high back carved sofa invites you to enter the room filled with unusual pieces from all over the world. A handmade sculptural iron cocktail table, rolling slipper chairs and Indian chests all sit upon a mango colored silk and wool rug from India. The rich colors of mango, honeydew, cream and persimmon in different depths create an environment of warmth and interest. A twenty five foot ceiling was designed in a quatrefoil shape and detailed in intricate wood moldings. The art above the fireplace is a metal piece by David Langley, Residuals of Rituals, and Mixed Media on aluminum. A view of the bar hints at the Moroccan panels that create a transition into the family room area. This area was detailed with woven leather Klismos chairs and opalescent fixtures.

The breakfast room is capped by a dome from which a mosaic glass fixture is suspended. Six high back chairs of embossed leather and chenille surround a table that reverses from planked dining to poker.

The family room ceiling was designed with wide mahogany beams set into a Moorish shaped coffer. The eclectic mix of furnishings in the deep rich hues creates continuity of the Moroccan feeling.

A copper embossed and beamed ceiling caps the dining room. A dome fixture of Arabesque patterned wood is suspended from one beam. Striped silk drapes of persimmon and mustard frame the wooded view beyond. Pierced filigree details hide a door leading to the cherry wood wine room and butler’s pantry beyond.

Tapestries and silks cover the chairs that surround the immense dining table of inlayed woods made in Tuscany. The floral painting by Luis Sanchez, “If These Walls Could Talk”, acrylic on canvas, is hung opposite the wine room. A Moroccan server sits beneath the arched window revealing the extensive wine collection.

The master bedroom suite is a complete contrast to the colorful main area. Exotic furnishings such as the turned poster bed and inlayed armoire in a background of sinewy white fabrics. Embroided sheer drapes, beaded silk bedding and pillows all rest on walls of white on white lace.

Our involvement in this 8,240 square foot residence began with all interior details and millwork, selections of surfaces, and lighting design. The mahogany columns with beveled reveals were designed to segregate the living room from the voluminous foyer. Subtle details such as the grey honed limestone floor with polished borders, a custom limestone mantelpiece and all millwork details throughout set this home apart from the norm. Unusual designs were created such as a hidden door in the custom made walnut trellised library that leads to the master suite. The wainscoted walls have been carefully detailed as well as a barrel groin vaulted ceiling. The dark mahogany dining room floor was chosen to contrast the limestone floors throughout. Traditional furnishings and heavily molded walls detail the room.

A hidden closet was designed to house tall the audio and video equipment in lieu of a typical media unit in the family room. Beams of the same walnut seen in the kitchen were designed to accentuate the coffered ceiling of the family room. The kitchen was designed in a furniture cabinet concept and counters were chosen in a honed granite finish.

The tiny powder room vanity was designed with delicate silver plated legs supporting a black marble top. A silver leaf dome with indirect lighting as well as two pendants illuminates the room.

In short, every single detail of this residence, from design, finishes, millwork, furnishings, etc., were our creation. The recognition derived from awards won for the interior design created a tremendous amount of interest in this residence. Ultimately this interest resulted in the rapid sale of this beautiful home.

Living Room/Dining Room

Challenged by the unusually long, narrow proportions of this space, three multi-purpose columns were created. Dividing the space to reduce the length was the original concept. Housing the stainless steel sconces, rear speakers for surround sound and additional power sources added to their value.

A carmel and ivory palette provided a warm yet exciting space punctuated by stainless steel and ebony accents. Custom upholstery of dual firmness keeps everyone comfortable. Average softness on the sofa for guests with an extra firm chaise for the owner. A pony skin Greek influenced bench and Klismos dining chairs add an ethnic twist all over raffia rug banded in leather anchors the living room. A bold painting is illuminated by a pin spot for drama. The media wall of Sapile wood camouflages speakers, all components and support the plasma TV. A sit down bar completes the perfect entertaining environment.

Kitchen

The Kitchen of this 2,200 sq. ft. condominium overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is only 150 sq. ft. Since 2 gourmet chefs occupy this residence all components were efficiently designed to be included. Cherry wood shaker cabinets were chosen for their warmth and interesting grain. Ribbed glass doors flank the stainless steel hood to provide lightness. Chocolate granite divided into diamonds by 1” stainless steel convection oven/Microwave and refrigerator all glow against the other cherry clad appliances.

The Powder Room

This perfectly proportioned 8x8 room houses the Powder Room of this residence. Inspired by Antique Bronze and Crystal Claw & Ball Feet an open vanity was designed. “Brescia Vendome Marble” consisting of shades of violet, mustard, black and ivory tops the vanity. Custom fluted black lacquered legs were fabricated to support the marble top and black vessel sink. Bronze Faucet and all bronze plated plumbing assure attention to detail. Murano glass sconces illuminate the space. An original Carbaneau nude compliments the golden Venetian Plastered Walls.
